A solid four for me. I see a lot of people casting shade on the bartenders and the wait staff. They…read morerefer to this place in derogatory terms, like dive bar or that they were treated rudely. One person even suggested that they were over served alcohol after bitching about the lack of alcohol in their drinks, which resulted in legal issues for the author of the post. Truly this particular person is probably a moron of the highest level. My experience with the employees here was great and the owner introduced himself to a friend and I. As to the "dive bar" connotation.... It's one of the nicest dive bars I've been in awhile !! The food is good , with large portions and the ambiance screams my kind of place.

I honestly do not know how this place has such a high review marking. We came here to play pool but…read morethere were people already playing pool so we were going to just eat something at the restaurant. we stood where another couple was just standing before they got sat at a table. We stood there for 4 to 6 minutes before someone even spoke to us and said a table should open up any minute now. 2 ladies at a table were getting up and pointed at us and the table they were getting up at, the insisted we grab it before the table was grabbed (I guess that's how they run things there idk) So when the waitress walked by I explained to her what happened and she only smiled at me (ok) I'm not sure what that means. We waited about 10 to 15 minutes for the table to get wiped down afterwards. Then just sat there still waiting for menus. After the waitress finally gave up the menus we got to ordered. The waitress was taking drinks order's for every table all at once while was in all putting her behind. I use to be a waitress for 15 years I know a thing or 2 I have patience and emphasis with them as they were busy. But this waitress needs a better strategy on how she handles her tables and she might get better and tables won't sit and wait long times for ordering and etc. When we were ready for the bill and a box she brought me the box but no bill.i had to wait 15 minutes for a bill that the other waitress grabbed for us. All and all I will not be back , the food wasn't so good either. The personal pizza seemed like a frozen dough with toppings they just threw on. I did like the steak frys though. Really bad experience here and felt very u welcomed the whole time. There was a couple that walked in after us sat at a dirty table, got it cleaned off got their order in, eat and we were still waiting for our food.

Tuesday Karaoke 7pm-11pm at Whispering Willows golf club - the Tin Cup Lounge…read more Found a new karaoke show in the neighborhood at the Tin Cup lounge inside the Whispering Willows clubhouse. It's in NW Livonia, with entrance just south of 8 Mile Rd and just past the drug store entrance on Newburgh Rd. Although it's an early show, that may be just the thing for someone who wants to have dinner, then karaoke. They have a full kitchen and diverse menu, but there's no pressure if you just want drinks. If you're tired of cramped locations with postage stamp sized stage areas, cars parked too close together, and late night drunks, this is the place to go - there's plenty of room for you and your car! Karaoke is hosted by Patty Kaye, well known in the area, and a great duet partner! It was great to have a moderate list of singers - less than a 30 minute wait. Music got a bit too loud for my taste near the end, but I'm sure that can be adjusted according to the preferences of the clientele. Here's hoping this new karaoke venue becomes a permanent fixture in the area!

From Retro Bliss to Corporate Miss - 1Up's New Management Hits Rock Bottom…read more.. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. 1Up Arcade Bar, once my go-to haven for arcade nostalgia and friendly vibes, has devolved into a shell of its former self. Under the new management, the experience has gone from retro joy to something resembling a garish corporate money pit. If you're looking to relive the good old days of arcade glory, consider this your neon-lit warning sign to stay far, far away. First off, the bartenders. Remember last year when 1Up's bartenders were warm, cheerful, and chatty, making you feel like you were part of the family? Well, those days are deader than my high score on Pac-Man. The new bartenders treat you with the exact enthusiasm you'd expect from someone waiting at the DMV. Ordering a drink here feels like you've personally interrupted their day--and heaven forbid you ask any questions about the menu. Smiles? Gone. Friendly banter? Vanished. You're left standing there with your overpriced, uninspired drink wondering if you've wandered into a soulless high-end cocktail bar by mistake. Ah, the drinks. Once playful and creative masterpieces that added to 1Up's charm, they've been replaced with pretentious, unimaginative concoctions that scream, "We're fancy now; please empty your wallet." No fun, no spirit (pun intended), just overpriced disappointments. At their current price point, I half expected the drink to come with complimentary resentment from the staff. And don't get me started on the arcade machines. Gone are the iconic retro classics that made me feel like I'd stepped back into the golden age of arcades. Instead, the place is now stuffed with bright, flashy, wallet-draining horrors you'd find at a Dave and Buster's. What happened to the charm? The authenticity? Now it's just a playground for toddlers with no attention spans and those who value flashing lights over actual gameplay. Speaking of, if you're a Gen Z-er armed with your parents' credit card and an inability to go three seconds without dopamine overload, this place might actually be a dream come true for you. The rest of us? Not so much. Look, 1Up Arcade Bar used to be a gem, but now it feels like a soulless cash grab. Don't come here hoping for a genuine arcade bar experience because you'll leave disappointed--and poorer. Save your time, save your money, and spare yourself the heartbreak of seeing what this place has become. RIP, old 1Up. You are sorely missed.

We were standing and waiting for more chairs to open up and they instead would seat someone else on them instead of lending one to us. To be clear, it was a table for six. The table behind us had a larger party and took some extra chairs from our table earlier in the night, which is totally fine, but then why seat a group at that table if we aren't going to even get a seat? Our waitress was nice but the seating situation was uncomfortable.

Also a great concept to just check off what you want on the menu. The servers are there and helpful if you have any questions, but it is nice to fill out the menu and hand it back to them. The restaurant has a lot of seating and probably looks like what you were expecting when you read the name. The staff is friendly, however it did take a bit to be served and sat since the place was so busy on a Friday night. Definitely keep that in mind if you decide to check it out.

Overall, everyone was happy with their meals and service was excellent. The only item that was just…read moreso-so was the side salad (limp spring mix greens with some cucumbers, cheese & croutons) and the Southwest wrap needed like a side of salsa or some seasoning on the chicken to add more flavor. I got the chicken breast dinner with Cajun rub (very flavorful!! the SW wrap could use some of that rub!) and was pleased as the chicken was very moist. There was plenty of TVs and of course this place caters to the golfers so plenty of beer etc. Overall very good experience!

They have keno which is another big plus. I got an order of wings and thought it had to be a joke. Seven tiny little wings. So tiny it was the length and width of my thumb. You have to be kidding me? $14 for seven tiny wings? Yes they were good but they were also done in five bites and I was still a little hungry after. My friend had the Cobb salad with a chicken breast on top. It looked good and he said it was good. I don't know if I just got the one thing on the menu that wasn't spectacular but there's too many other places that are a better value. Drinks were also pretty expensive. Well vodka @ $8.50 a drink. There's too many other choices in the area like Wintergarden Tavern or even the Wagon Wheel in Northville that has better prices and better food. Not sure I'll be visiting here again.

Took off 2 stars because the one night I went with my parents/brother (it was a weekend night) the bartenders were almost impossible to get service from.

We ended up ordering 2 pitchers & a bucket of beer so we didn't have to go back up for more (&we tipped well!!) but it was still annoying. I'll be back though
